I’m an experienced HA wearer – 8 years – and I like these 9040s after my first ever REM five hours ago. I recently upgraded my Mac to one with an M2 chip, so it has the feature of direct streaming to MFi aids. I was looking forward to streaming youtube audio from my Mac without a TV Adapter.
But while the 9040s can pair with two devices, they can be connected to only one at a time. I use my aids with my iPhone for podcasts and phone calls. So if I’m listening to a youtube on the Mac and I get a phone call… --Not to mention the inconvenience of having to turn off Bluetooth on the phone in order to listen to the Mac…
And even with Bluetooth off on the phone, the MFi connection on the Mac is intermittent. They pop in and out of the “Sound” tab in the Mac’s System Settings.
I guess I could get a TV Adapter, $2xx. That’s what I was using with my previous aids.
